The sequel to Heresy, Prophecy reintroduces Giordano Bruno, the Italian heretic turned detective spy. As ever, he's trying to unravel a conspiracy against Elizabeth I while working as a mole in the French ambassador's court. There are multiple twists and turns as well as the sights and sounds of the Tudor court and the book is quite readable. However, S J Parris is no C J Sansom, who does a far better job of bringing that world to light in a more thrilling way. Recommended.
